Launceston

Cataract Gorge is a remarkable natural feature carved by the South Esk River just minutes from central Launceston, Tasmania. The dramatic gorge features a scenic reserve with cliff-face walking paths, a chairlift, a swimming pool, peacocks, and stunning views of eucalyptus forest. The juxtaposition of wild nature so close to an urban center makes it one of Australia's most unique urban natural attractions.
